Sportnco has taken its first step into the US iGaming market with the launch of the SuperDraft Free SportsBook App, a free-to-play sports betting app that will operate across nearly 40 states.

SuperDraft is one of the leading daily fantasy sports operators in the US and is the DFS platform of Caesars Entertainment Inc. following its strategic investment in the company.

Powered by Sportnco’s sports betting solution, the app will offer players the opportunity to place bets and learn about sports betting without financial risk and enjoy all the social aspects of competing against friends and family.

The SuperDraft and Sportnco teams worked in close partnership to develop free-to-play betting product targeted at US sports fans. By managing the front end, SuperDraft has designed a US-specific user interface, while plugging into Sportnco’s high-performance API betting engine.
